Andy and Sam decided that people would start talking if they skipped the Penny that night, so they entered the bar to an ear splitting round of applause.

Laughing, Andy found that a drink was put into her hand and she and Sam were dragged into the throng of people.

Every time she and Sam finished their drinks, they found another one in their hands.

Andy found herself telling the others stories about her time at 27 and regaling them with the look on Todd's face when he realised that she was Sam's legendary rookie.

Sam found himself sat at the bar with Oliver, who was congratulating him on winning the retraining for the sixth year in a row.

"Don't even go there Oliver." Sam warned as Oliver opened his mouth to say something.

"Go where?" Oliver asked, his tone defensive.

Sam knocked his scotch back and looked at Oliver.

"I know it's now forbidden as you are now partners again, but you know what. Screw the rules. Anyone with eyes can tell you are good together."

"And on that note I am out of here." Sam said, throwing some money down on the bar and leaving Oliver shaking his head.

Andy watched Sam knock his drink back and leave the bar.

She wanted to go with him, but she knew she wouldn't be able to get away from her friends as she was rejoining 15 on a night shift.

Half an hour later, Andy managed to make an excuse to leave the bar. She was tired and it had been a difficult day. On her walk home she called Tommy.

"Hey Pumpkin, how'd it go?"

"I'm back at 15, but now I have to teach at the Academy twice a year with Sam."

"I bet Sammy loved that!"

"It was either agree or we would both end up at 27."

"Fair play. He there with you now?"

"No. He left the bar a while ago, and I'm just getting home."

"Ok. I'll talk to you later sweetheart."

"Night dad."

"Night."

Andy hung up the phone and ferreted around in her pocket for her keys. She opened her front door and looked at the stairs she would have to climb to get to her apartment. She smiled when she saw, sat on the top step: Sam.

"It's about time. I was starting to give up on you." He told her, his dimples popping as he got to his feet.

Despite the weariness she was feeling, Andy climbed the stairs and when she reached Sam she stood on her tiptoes and pulled his lips to hers.

Sam deepened the kiss before attempting to move Andy towards the wall. Being on the stairs, it actually made Andy slip and land on the next step down.

"You ok?" Sam asked her between kisses.

"I'm fine. Shall we get inside?" Andy replied, walking quickly up the remaining stairs and down the hallway to her apartment door, taking Sam's hand and pulling him along behind her, her body suddenly very much awake.

After making it through the door and checking no one was there to disturb them, Sam pulled Andy into another kiss and started to unbutton her shirt, not once removing his lips from her skin. He moved them from her lips to the side of her neck making her gasp and walked her back into the table before lifting her onto it.

Andy's hands were roaming. They slid under Sam's shirt and moved up his torso. Andy slid his shirt up his body and Sam reluctantly stopped the assault with his mouth to allow her to remove it. Once the shirt had been thrown clear of his body, Sam began kissing Andy again and looped her arms around his neck before picking Andy up and carrying her to the bedroom.

Andy woke up in a tangle of limbs. There was brilliant sunlight coming in through the bent slat in the blind and Sam was still fast asleep, arms around Andy like he never wanted to let her go.

Andy kissed the top of his head and gently edged her way out of the bed to the kitchen, stopping to pick Sam's shirt of the floor in the living room and putting it on. She rummaged through her cupboards and discovered she had nothing to cook pancakes with.

Pulling everything out of the cupboards and setting it on the counter she surveyed the ingredients she had and was trying to decide what she could cook for breakfast.

She didn't hear Sam sneak up behind her.

"What are you doing?" he whispered in her ear, rolling the 'r' and running his hands over her hips.

Andy relaxed into his embrace.

"Trying to decide if I have anything in to cook breakfast." Andy told him as she pulled away from his body towards the kitchen counter.

"I know what I'd like for breakfast." He growled, pulling her back towards him.

"Sam!" Andy squealed as Sam ran his hands up the front of his shirt and, in one fluid motion, pulled it over Andy's head before peppering her shoulder blade with kisses.

Sam could hear his cell ringing and groaned against Andy's neck before going to find his pants. By the time he got there his cell had stopped ringing, but thinking whoever had tried calling might try again, picked the phone up and walked back to Andy who had started to sort through the food again. Just as he kissed her on the back of her shoulder and wrapping his arms around her waist again, making her turn around in his embrace, his cell started to vibrate again.

Sam let Andy go and flipped his cell open, glancing at the caller ID.

"This had better be good Frank, I am kind of in the middle of something."

Sam bit his lip to stifle a groan and nearly missed Frank's reply as Andy softly kissed the base of his throat and ran her hands down past his waist.

"You want what?" Sam asked slightly breathless, trying to smack Andy's hands away from him.

"I want to see you and McNally at the diner in half an hour. I'll even buy."

"I'll call her. She might not be free you know." Sam told him, his voice slightly higher than his usual low grumble, as Andy started massaging his most private part.

"Sam. What are you doing?"

"I told you I'm in the middle of something and before you ask, no I am not alone."

"Call McNally, get her to the diner. I will leave you to Spank the Monkey. You have half an hour."

A/N: I do not know when this fic will end. It's one of those fics that I just keep writing until it gets too long (the last one I did this to ended up at over 110,000 words and 111 chapters!) and I start another one starting where this one finishes to break it up... but saying that - if any of you have any prompts I will see what I can do :)
